Practice Description
Dr. Cauble is an experienced chemist with pharmaceutical industry experience and academic research experience. He assists clients with patent preparation and prosecution. As a Senior Scientist at Schering-Plough Research Institute, David’s studies involved exploration of biological pathways implicated in cancer through the discovery and application of small molecule protein kinase inhibitors. David is also an inventor and co-author on 6 US patents that detail the application of liquid carbon dioxide-based technologies within the textile industry.
Notable Experience
- Assisting with the preparation and prosecution of U.S. and foreign patent applications in the fields of small molecules, biologics, synthetic methods, drug delivery compositions, polymers, materials science, and medical devices.
- Conducting freedom to operate analyses and drafting infringement and invalidity opinions.
- Conducted postdoctoral work at Stanford University, in the labs of Professor Barry Trost. David’s work focused on advancing the syntheses of the marine macrolide (-)-dactylolide and the diterpenoid glycoside cotylenin A.
- Extensive research in the development of novel synthetic methods, including an enantioselective, organocatalytic photocycloaddition and the discovery of a catalytic, anion radical-mediated [2+2] cycloaddition.
